Running out of storage space on your iPad can be frustrating, especially when you need to take important photos or download new apps. Luckily, there are several ways to clear up space right on your iPad.
First, you need to check how much space you actually have available. To do this, go to the Settings app on your iPad, click on the General tab, and then click on iPad Storage under General. This will show you a chart of how much space you have in total and how much of it you’ve used up.
Apple recommends some ways to free up space in your iPad, such as offloading unused apps and deleting all conversations, especially text messages with a lot of attachments. You can also delete downloaded videos that are taking up a lot of space. If you have large attachments with text messages, you can delete them too.
Photos and text messages typically take up the most amount of storage on any device. If you have a lot of apps, they will also take up space. You can offload apps to save space without deleting the data. Just tap on the icon to redownload the app when you want to use it again.
To free up space from photos and videos, you can use iCloud instead of storing them locally on your iPad. Upgrade your iCloud storage and turn on iCloud Photos. This will back up your photos and videos to iCloud, and they will no longer take up space on your iPad. You can also turn on messages to prevent them from taking up space.
By default, iCloud offers 5 GB of free storage. You can manage your storage and upgrade to a larger plan if necessary. Go to Settings, click on your name on top, and then click on iCloud to see your stored data and manage your storage plan.
By following these simple steps, you can free up space on your iPad and avoid the frustration of running out of storage.
